every morning when i arrive home from work, the first thing ill look for is coke. and cold drink in the morning is not really good for me cos it upsets my stomach. i cant eat a meal without coke... i cant watch tv without coke... i cant sit infront of the computer without coke... i really want to stop my addiction cos too much caffeine makes my hyper active not to mention the hyperacidity that causes me to throw up when i drink coke with an empty stomach... can anyone suggest an alternative to coke? i know i cant stop it right away but i wanna start one step at a time today... help please....

are you a he or she. If she, you'd better stop or you'll get a UTI and kidney problem. If he, kidney problem. To stop your addiction, always practice yourself to drink water and discipline yourself from not drinking beverages.

it's better to avoid rather than to cure when its there.

Hi, iced tea is a good alternative for coke. Just always remember the emails that are circulating.. You can use coke to clean comfort rooms. or if you put you teeth inside coke for a few day, it will melt. my baby was fed coke in nursery bottle when he was a few months old by his babysitter and he doesnt have his upper teeth now

I don't think you're the only one. a lot of people at my work are the same, if its making you sick though you probably should stop straight away. Maybe change to a different variety of coke first (diet coke for example) and then eventually change over to juice and then water.

Hi there. What if you try to slowly start weening yourself away. Say you drink 8 glasses of coke a day, why not replace one of them with water for a week. Then the second week replace two more, so you're drinking three glasses of water and five cokes. The third week replace two more so you're drinking five water and three cokes, the fourth week, add two more so you're down to just one coke and seven waters. You could also try green tea in the morning so you don't upset your stomach. It still has caffeine in it, but it's also rich in antioxidants. Take it slow, one day at a time. You can do it!
